Our Purpose

To unlock the full potential of women in the Workers’ Compensation industry.

Our history

The Alliance of Women in Workers’ Compensation was formed in 2016 when two women’s organizations (Women in Workers’ Compensation and the Women Executives in Workers’ Compensation) merged to create a single entity.

industry professionals and

What makes us special

OUR VISION:
An industry positively impacted by women who are equitably represented, developed, and retained.

OUR MISSION:
Inspiring the industry to invest in the development of women of diverse backgrounds and cultures through educational experiences, intentional support, and collaborative relationships.

WHO WE ARE:
We are a unique organization that brings together an entire industry to work together for the common good. Our goal of inclusivity is manifested in our encouragement of men and women alike to participate in the organization to work side-by-side for the advancement of women and for the betterment of the industry overall.

The Alliance is inclusive of all professionals in workers’ compensation, regardless of career stage, with the belief that we can all learn from and support each other. The organization is funded by companies in the workers’ compensation industry who support the organization’s mission.

Events held by the Alliance provide great opportunities for personal networking, but are not designed as venues to market a particular company or product. We are grateful to our sponsors and the branding opportunities that we provide to their companies, but direct marketing of the group’s members is not permitted.

Our goals

Open a dialogue on the challenges and opportunities for women in the workplace.

Discuss overall challenges faced by employers serving the workers’ compensation market.

Provide camaraderie and opportunities for women wishing to expand their professional network.
